So I wanted to create a community platform to bring it all together, and enrich it with reviews, voting etc. The community aspect happened mostly at the c64rmx Yahoo group. Then there was also Chris Abbott's, which at that time was hosting a couple of remixes with lots of background info, screenshots etc. Both were basically file repositories where remixers could submit their works to. In the early days, there were "Triad Mp3s" and its then brand new spiritual successor. The remixing scene is focused on remixing or remaking SID tunes with "real" synths and instruments. What is remi圆4 about? Why did you found it? Remi圆4 is not a group per se, rather the staff running remi圆4.com and its community forum. Joining Oxy was a logical consequence, and of course a great honour. So before I knew it I had contributed a lot of music to the Censor Design / Oxyron demo "Fantasmolytic". When I got in touch with THCM from Oxyron it was instantly clear we'd make a great team. In other words, we're nothing but a bunch of friends annoying you in their spare time, as our tagline goes. The unwritten core principles of MSL are experimentation, diversity and freedom. Would I join my all-time favourite music group? So I answered "You kidding? Hell yeah!" No brainer really. However one day Jammer asked me to join MultiStyle Labs. When I got into the scene last year, the plan was to stay out of groups and remain freelance. What can you tell our readers about your groups MultiStyle Labs, Oxyron and Remi圆4? :)īMan poured his dirty watercolour water over my freshly cleaned paintbox. It can be traced back to an incident in art class 1986, and a guy who is now my best friend. The nickname went through several iterations. Where does your nick LMan come from? What does it mean? When I finally made the step in January 2015, I had collected lots of ideas I wanted to try. Ever since then I hoped to return to SID music one day, keeping a loose watch on the core scene all the time. When the Internet finally arrived at home, searching for C64 stuff was among the first things to do, so I got in touch with the remixing scene. So in 1992 I moved on to Protracker, then Cakewalk, Cubase, Reason. It was on a diskmag and I used it to make a couple of SIDs just for fun, you know those everyone does (Axel F anyone?). So around 1990 I got my hands on the little known but cool tracker called AMP. I guess the story is the same for many sceners, I was always more fascinated with great music, cool intros and gfx than my friends, who found this odd hehe. However living that isolated I didn't have contact with the scene at all, you took what you got from the schoolyard. My brother got his c64 when I was 10, had never seen something like it before and was instantly hooked. I am around 40 and live in the Cologne area. Also, how did you became interested in the C64 and started to make music on it? Please introduce yourself to our readers.
